The Courts Say He Mast Stand Shoulder
to Shoulder With Kershaw.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 29.-The creditors
of G. J. Kershaw & Co. secured an order
from the court, to-day, making Charles
B. Eggleston general partner. and
thereby making him responsible for the
debts of the firm, which it is said APP
proximate 100000. The next step
of the attorneys for the creditors
was to secure their interests by tying
up the property involved. An order
was issued by Judge Garrett restraining
Mr.. Eggleston from disposing of his real
estate pending a settlement of the ques-
tons at issue. The petition was filed by
Maurice and Joseph Rosenbaum and E.
G. Walker s. Co.-representing an in
debtedness of SOS, 000-who desire to
have the assets of Kershaw & Co. dis
tributed among all the creditors pro rata,
and G. B. Eggleston declared a general
instead of a special partner of the firm.
The difference to the creditors is very
material If a special partner Mr.. Egg
gleston is only liable to the extent of
$25, 900, contributed by him to the firm.
If general partner his private property
may be taken for the firm debts and the
transfers of that to various parties, made
within the last few days, amounting to
over 100000 may be set aside
Co. assets. The interveners represent
that the assets of Kershaw & Co., aside
from Eggleston's property, are but NOM
inal, but if the Eggleston convevances
are set aside and his property subjected
to payment of the debts. creditors may
receive something like so per cent. of
| their claims.

her skull is not fractured. Her eyes are
closed and badly swollen and her face
much bruised. She is still insensible
and can tell nothing of the assault. The

anything Of the kind were done it is
probable that I should be informed

I can only tell you that the practice Of
the supreme court is to hear arguments,
then to receive printed arguments and
abstracts Of testimony, and then some
time in the course of a year and half
to file its decision. If such a decision is
given out before being filed it can only
be done through some one getting the
secrets Of the supreme court and be-
traying them, and I should be very
much astonished if the supreme court
had leaked in this case"

mony was taken this morning in the

there was a system of hazing carried on
by the patients, with the consent

An Economical Broker.
From the New York Sun.

1t is perhaps universally accepted
that all Wall Street brokers are
princes OF extravaganza and direct de-
scendants OF the prodigal of ancient
days. Well, there is q broker in the
street whose daily expenses from the
time he leaves home in the morning I'm.
til he returns at night are exactly
eighteen cents, and they haven't va.
ried from those figures in years. The
broker is favorite, clever and COR

WHERE THE LINE IS DRAWN.
The Position Taken by France the
Ang1o-Egyptian Question.

Anglo-EgyptIan question.
PARIS, July 1.-The Journal des De-
bats, referring to the action of the
Count Montebello, French minister at
Constantinople, in relation to the Egyp-
tan convention, says: Nothing is more
natural than that the French diplomats
should at one time have considered that
possibly France would assent to a con-
vention shortening by several years the
period of English occupation of Egypt.
We are ready to negotiate on that basis
now, but we cannot agree that England
by any pretext should have. the
right to perpetual occupation of the
country or that she should be allowed to
occupy it for reasons of which she alone
should Judge. No Frenchman of com
mon sense would thus sanction British
protectorate and convert into right
recognized by France what now Is
merely fact"

SHIP us YOUR COTTON,

We have long contended that our
Cotton Market is the best in the State
and every season the fact is more and
more manifest. This season, how
ever, has SO far afforded the best H.
lustration. We have received more
Cotton, sold it quicker and given bet
ter satisfaction than any season since
we have been in business. All classes
OF shippers have given us a trial this
season, and all classes have been
pleased with the result.
If you have not yet favored us with
shipments, we would strongly urge
you to turn your next consignment
to us. We have the means and ia
cilities to please you. II you are
shipping elsewhere, we ask you to
divide you shipments with us and
compare results. If you have ship
ped us before, and have been induced
to quit for some cause or other, you
may be sure that the cause was more
apparent than real, and all we want
is, candid explanation and fair op-
portunity to make things right and
satisfactory. We don'tpretend to be
infallible, but we do claim that on
account of our long experience in the
business, thorough training and per-
feet organization, we can obtain the
very best results out of lot of Cot
ton, if anybody can.
We would be glad to correspond with
parties interested in Cotton, and send stem
ellis and daily quotations on application, free
of charge.

FOOD FRAUDS.
The Shameful Use Of Lime and Alum In

the bread, the entire community is endan.
gered, and it is the duty Of the press to de-
nounce the practice in the most emphatic
terms.
Among the important discoveries by the
food analysis is that by Prof. Mott, the U.
s. Government Chemist, of large amounts
of lime and alum in the cheap baking pow
ders. These are, one the most dangerous,
and the other the most useless adulterant
yet found in the low-grado, inferior baking
powders. It is startling fact that of the
many brands of baking powders so for ana
lived, none of them, with the single excep-
ton of the Royal Baking Powder, was
found free from both lime and alum. The
chief service of lime is to add weight. It
is true that lime, when subjected to heat,
gives off q certain amount of carbonic acid
gas, but quick-lime is left-a caustic 80
